The NanLite Grid for Tube Kit is a precision light-shaping accessory designed primarily for the PavoTube II 15X LED Pixel Tube, giving cinematographers and photographers complete control over their light output. Built from durable, lightweight ripstop nylon, the kit includes adjustable fabric barndoors and a 45° fabric grid that together bring your beam angle all the way from a broad 180° spread down to a razor-thin slit of less than 5°.
Whether you need to eliminate unwanted spill light on set or direct attention to a specific subject with surgical precision, the NanLite Grid for Tube Kit delivers professional-grade directionality without sacrificing the PavoTube II’s signature soft, diffuse light quality. Its standard T12 diameter mount also ensures compatibility with other T12 tube lights of similar length, making it a versatile addition to any lighting kit.
Key features
- Wide-to-Narrow Beam Control: Adjustable fabric barndoors shift your beam angle from 180° down to less than 5°, giving you total control over light spread on any shoot.
- 45° Fabric Grid for Selective Lighting: The included grid eliminates spill light and adds the directionality needed to isolate subjects while preserving the tube’s soft, diffuse quality.
- Standard T12 Diameter Mount: Designed for the PavoTube II 15X but compatible with other T12 tube lights of similar length, offering flexible multi-fixture use.
- Lightweight Ripstop Nylon Construction: Tough yet feather-light material stands up to repeated use on location without weighing down your kit.
- Fold-Flat Portability: Both the barndoors and grid fold completely flat, making them effortless to pack, transport, and store between shoots.
- Full-Length Coverage: The barndoors and grid run the entire length of the tube, ensuring even, consistent light shaping across the full fixture.

Frequently asked questions
Which NanLite tube lights is this Grid for Tube Kit compatible with?
The kit is designed specifically for the NanLite PavoTube II 15X LED Pixel Tube. It also fits other T12 tube lights of a similar length thanks to its standard T12 diameter mount.
How much can the barndoors narrow the beam angle?
The adjustable fabric barndoors can reduce the beam angle from a wide 180° spread all the way down to less than 5°, allowing you to go from a broad flood to an extremely tight slit of light.
What does the 45° fabric grid add over using the barndoors alone?
While the barndoors control the width of the beam, the 45° fabric grid goes a step further by eliminating side spill light and adding directionality for selective subject lighting — all without degrading the PavoTube II’s soft, diffuse light quality.
